as a matter of fact... the Castle guys have their game on Android or Ios? Did they TRIED to monetize their idea in the same grounds as Rovio? Cause i've see clones of Angry Birds... it's the exact same game with just different art assets... that's cloning. Having similar games with slightly different mechanics... well, might not be the Brightest of minds at work... but stealing it ain't.

If the new tetris block shapes did different things other than just stack up, like remove certain colored blocks they touch or give you a temp slowdown or remove a chunk of the block stack like an explosion, and instead of falling idly down from the sky you actually flung them at your play area with a slingshot to try and fit them in the right spot....no, that wouldn't be a rip off. It would actually have enough changes to the core mechanics of HOW the game works to stand alone.

All in all, there is nothing new under the sun. If video games had to all give props to everything that inspired them, or portions of them, the intro-loading slides would be the game.

And you'd still have to have a slide reel to credit all the other games that inspired your slide reel.

Which sounds like more differences than there are between the core mechanics of Angry Birds and CtC.

The simplest games are the most addictive. Corollary: The simplest games are the hardest to spin variations from which are more than mere repetitions.

Huh? Angry Birds? Never heard of it. Seriously, why's this suddenly a thing?
